Richard I bow to your superior knowledge of the likely performance of my bumper mounted aerial when compared to wet string... Though in truth had no radio been fitted to my car when I bought it then I suspect I may not have fitted one. I also have to admit I have made use of the radio on a few occasions such as while working on the Mog and while waiting for my good lady to return from shopping etc, thus can confirm that it does indeed operate well enough, though the idea of drilling a largish hole in the bodywork in order to have areal or imagined improvement in radio performance would not have been considered a desirable option. I have no memory of ever trying to make use of the radio on the move, the sound of the old Mog providing quite enough pleasure (-:
